EarthBound/In-Game Debug Menu

This is a sub-page of EarthBound.

The easiest way to access this debug menu is by using the "Apple" menu function in the Boot-up debug menu.

You can also access it by using the Game Genie codes 6B84-7D04, 3184-7D64, and 3E84-7DA4, then using the ATM card.

The harder way is by using Game Genie code EE64-54A1 and interacting with three different spots in the game. First, input the code and leave it off. Next, if you are in Scaraba, go to either the bazaar or inside of Dungeon Man. In the bazaar, there is a sign that says "Hassan's Shop ($ dollars acceptable.)" In Dungeon Man, make your way to Brick Road's face and the sign near it that says "That face is mine. (Feel free to talk to it.) ...Brick Road." The final location to access the menu is right before the final battle with Giygas, when Pokey taunts you. Turn the code on and read the signs again/approach Pokey. Eventually, you will receive a text box that says "NNW SMSK?" (何をしますか？ What shall you do?) and then the debug menu will be open.

It is also possible to get into this debug menu without any Game Genie code at all by using the "check area" glitch on certain spots of the map, such as the Circus Tent in Threed, as demonstrated in this TAS video. This video demonstrates glitching to the upper-right corner of Onett to enter the debug menu, further facilitated by using inputs on the second controller to manipulate the game's RAM.

Instead of being translated, the debug menu's text was transliterated and truncated, displaying only the first English letter for each Japanese character used. Here's a list that details all of its functions:
